Walkers raise money to build wells in the Sudan

Bright blue skies and a chilly breeze greeted dozens of church and community members for St. Martin’s third annual Walk for Water Saturday, May 8.

The group left the church at 8:30 a.m., eager to do their part to raise money to build wells in our companion Diocese of Lui, Sudan. Â Walkers, runners, bicyclists and scooters chose a 1-mile, 3-mile or 5-mile course surrounding the church grounds.Â It was a glorious day — as you can see from the attached pictures.

So far, we have raised approximately $6,500 that will go directly to Lui.Â You can still help that number grow by making a donation through this website or dropping off a check at church.

Thanks to Beth Buehler and the MDG committee for organizing such a great event. And thanks to everyone who continues to participate in this fun and important cause!
